social networking sites

I don't understand why people my age would be interested in social networking sites and be religious about it, since isn't our real-time lives busy enough?

Teenagers, young adults who are just jumping into the fast-track of life, might feel they need to be connected with every breathing soul they have met; but after so many years of the same ole' nonsense, one would think that people grew up and started to get real on what really matters in life.

The one thing I have learnt from the WWW is, that people take on a persona they definitely do not have or remotely own.  AND quite frankly, if that person is so adaptable and well adjusted to real people and the demands of the real world, there is no need to 'get lost' or allocate inaccurate qualities to themselves over their profile.

I have done a brief 'study' of randoms who post in such sites and unless they are really your friend in real time, its a toss up in the air on what their agenda really is.

The people who brag so much about casual sex and being all romantic are really quite lame and if not taken or ever taken, would translate to : something is seriously wrong.  If a person is such a hot-shot, why is that person still so available?

My single friends are never on sites like that and even refuse to chat tirelessly over the sms-text.  We set a place and time and date and meet; paying for overpriced caffeine to keep things real.  We do not need to meet strangers just so we could go over introductions and hopefully perfect them after the 100th try.

It is the new, soon to be old, hype - and the worst thing is when a self-proclaimed 'professional' goes on such a site.  Seriously.  What constitutes a professional? Even a cleaning supervisor is a professional because if you had a stained marble tile, you'd want him to tell you how to get that pristine again.

Everything is over-rated these days.
I have had a guy tell me how he is not sorry he has a large tool.
OMG
I am sure there are tons of others who would take him on that challenge.

Any person can equip themselves with tools.
Its not how large a tool is that will matter but what you do with it that counts.
Its also not how great an intro you can write, but whether or not, your intro eventually sells.
To sell it means, you must be whatever you say you are.

A lot of people choose to write something that is inaccurate, and when questioned probably will side-track or just ignore the question as if it was never asked.

So the theory I came up with in my 20s about people not being taken in any way is true - going by what I have uncovered of late.
Of course, its true to form, only when such people keep 'changing' bazaars to sell their wares when the real life bazaar becomes too transparent for them.
